And do it right now.
The Tybee tigers seem to have
been tamed.
Home institutions first, last
and all the time.
Cotton is going up. Let her
rise till she gets sky high.
The legislature has not been
very friendly to new counties
this session.
The newspapers are commend
ing Governor Harris for pardon
ing Stripling.
The mosquitoes drew the first
gore in the fight with the soldiers
at Camp Harris.
The legislature will adjourn
next week. In many respects it
has been a stormy session.
Gosh, if they get to naming
flivvers like Pullmans, somebody
will have to invent anew alpha
bet.
The paper pirates, trusts and
monopolists are now squeezing
the printers of the country to the
limit.
Some of the gubernatorial can
didates having claimed every
county in Georgia, will now prob
ably run in Alabama.
With paper jumping from S4O
to SBO a ton. life is not all roses
for the editor these days. And
they tell us the worst is vet to
come.
Haven’t heard much about
the “Fighting Fifth” recently.
Probably got worsted in the bat
tle with the Camp Harris mos
quitoes.
From the wav the other can
didates are lambasting Dorsey,
they evidently think the man
who beats the Atlanta solicitor
will be the next governor.
Reliable reports state Governor
Harris is gaining ground steadily.
When the legislature is over and
he can get out among the voters
look for the fur to fly.
Do you suppose there is any
connection between the big rains
and the gubernatorial oratory?
Have read somewhere that the
firing of big guns might produce
rain.
THE THREATENED
STRIKE
Somebody, some how ought to
be able to prevent the threatened
railroad strike. Such a strike
woul ! tie up all the principal
railroads in the country, and
would absolutely paralyze busi
ness for the time being* Such a
condition would be worse than a
state of war while it continued.
It ought to be impossible for any
body of men, whether capitalists
or laborers, to bring about such a
strike as the country now faces.
Every factory, every cotton
mill, every industry in the coun
try would be affected. Unable
to secure coal or to ship their
products to market, these indus
tries would be compelled to close
down and thousands of men
would be thrown out of employ
ment.
If there is any way to prevent
such a strike it ought to be done.
“The Only Respectable Dis
ease Is Old Age”
Dr. Harvey W. Wiley speaking
in Kansas City recently said that
old age is the only respectable
disease to die of.
‘‘Hardly one hundred of you*
here to-night will die of old age, ”
Doctor Wiley said, “tlie only re
spectable disease of which man
may die. The rest of you are
going to die before your time.
“I mean it. You men are burn
ing yourselves up with tobacco
and business cares. You women
are trying to shorten your lives
by drinking tea, dancing the tan
go and playing bridge.
“Distresses that could be
avoided are going to carry you
off. You wait for an ache before
you go the dentist. You ought
to go twice a year. The dentist
will find a cavity or he will pre
vent one from coming. Every
tooth is worth SI,OOO.
“The average life is 44 years.
Why, a man is just getting into
his best years then. Just getting
where he can pay back a little
interest on the investment he has
cost. It is not unreasonable that
the average life should be ad
vanced to 88 years.”—Ex.
We notice that some of the
candidates have spoken so much
that they have sore throat. But
haven’t heard of the populace
yelling to the sore throat stage.
The prospect now is that pro
hibition will be drawn into every
political campaign’for generations
to come. The law ought to be
enforced and some of the agita
tors gagged.
The thrifty farmer who has
money in the bank, has a farm
that tells you about the character
of the owner the minute you
come in sight of it. Such a man
has long since learned that the
fence corner or under a tree is
no place for an implement not in
use. Such seemingly little things
added to other like little things
make the big things that deter
mine a man’s success or failure.
